1/2 If you're planning to swim in really cold water, what type of grease
is appropriate to smear on your body? I read somewhere that swimmers
do this, but I need to know what kind of grease is used.
\_ I bet pretty much anything goopy enough to stick. Why don't
you go smear yourself in crisco and give this a shot?
\_ See, they have these things called wetsuits now. Drysuits too.
\_ Bear fat. It's traditional.
\_ Are you being serious? In context, it's...rather hard to tell.
\_ If you are going out into the Bay or the Pacific around the Bay I
would recommend smearing fish and seal guts and blood all over
your body, maybe mix in some vaseline. |
